The Power Of Silver | Transformers Bayverse

Chapter 18-Lucid Dreaming

Silverspeed's POV
I was awaken from recharge by an annoying sound of someone's voice.
It kept repeating my name,"Silverspeed,Silverspeed..Silverspeed!"
At the third time I shot up,and looked around quickly.

-Silverspeed!Can you hear me-Starscream
-U-um,yes?-Silverspeed
-I need you to go to Blackout and get your new insignia-Starscream
-Wait,how are you on Comm with me?-Silverspeed
-Blackout changed your frequency to our when you were unconscious-Starscream
-Ok...-Silverspeed
-Barricade will take you there-Starscream

'Geez,never gives me a break,and I've only been a Con for what?Less than a day?'I thought slightly annoyed.
I walked out sluggishly,opening the door to see Barricade standing there with his arms crossed,a plain face plastered on.
"Woah,how long have you been standing there?"I asked,eyeing him weirdly.
"As long as I had to be,"He responded coldly.
"Ok,so are you going to take me there or what?"I asked,getting impatient.
"Alright alright,don't get snippy princess,"He surrendered,putting his servos half-heartedly in the air.
"Princess?"I deadpanned."Well,there's not any other femme's around here as far as I can tell,"He said honestly.
"Fine,"I said,giving up on arguing.
He lead us on to the Med-bay,winding around unfamiliar corners,making my helm spin.
"How big is this place,"I groaned.Barricade didn't respond,only walked on while I huffed in annoyance.
"Here,"He gestured inside the Med-bay,this time me not being worked on.
"Barricade swiftly exited,leaving me all alone,only leaving me to gape at him as he left me here.
"Alright,would you mind laying down?"Blackout asked kindly.
"Sure,"I said blandly."So,this won't hurt,but it'd be easier if you would be under while I do your new insignia,"He said.
"What?"I said confused."You'll be unconscious while I redo your insignia,"He said again in a slightly agitated tone.
"Oh,ok..."I trailed.Before I could say anything else,he stuck something in my neckcables,and I went dark...

Silverspeed's POV
I sat up,looking around silently.It seemed like I was;back on Cybertron...before the war...
Even myself was a different color,still mainly silver,but with a red stripe on each side,
and my old Cybertronian alt-mode back.
I was laying on my old berth,everything like it had always been..
'This is a dream,right?It has to be...'I wondered.But it seemed so,real..
I could move my servos,move things around like everything before was a dream itself.
"Hey 'sis,I'm gonna check out with some'ah my buddies,okay?"Jazz said,peeking his helm into my room.
"Jazz?"I mumbled lowly,questioning myself.
"You can roam around the block if'ya want once 'ya up,don't go too far,"He beamed at me.
Geez Jazz,you're acting like I'm not old enough too handle myself,"I defended,crossing my arms.
"Ok ok,but still;don't go to another planet without me,"He joked,his visor brightening.
"Sure sure,don't keep your friends waiting,"I waved him off.
He gave me snicker before strutting out,the sliding door closing behind him with a hiss.
I sighed,getting off the berth after laying for what felt like cycles.
I decided to take Jazz's advice and go out for a change.
I smiled,my visor shading somewhat to the light from outside.
I walked slowly down the streets,almost wishing I had a car alt-mode...almost.
I kept walking,until I noticed a huge board that read,"THE TERROR TWINS! VS UNKNOWN!"
It looked like a some kind of gladiator competition,and there were bots lined up at the entrance,the board above.
I stared at it curiously,until somebot bumped into me.
I got pushed back a little,and started to fall backwards.My optics widened,until something caught me.
"Hey,look!Bluestreak already found a femme!"Somebot called out.I quickly got out of the bot's grasp and turned around.
The mech seemed to be with a group of friends,two friends,who quickly caught up to him.
"Um...hi?"I said awkwardly."Woah,she's a flyer too!"The same bot said again,walking up next to 'Bluestreak'.
"Smokescreen,she just fell and I caught her,"He said with the same awkward tone that I had.
"Oh,Well I'm Smokescreen;back there's Prowl,and this is Bluestreak,"He pointed out to each of them.
"I'm Silverspeed,"I said."Nice to meet ya,say;wanna come to the arena with us?"Smokescreen asked with a grin.
"Well,I don't know..."I hesitated."Oh come on,I bet Bluestreak would be happy,"He said with a smug look.
"What!"Bluestreak said with wide optics,a blue tint rising to his faceplates.
"Um,sure I'll go I guess,"I said,'Nothing better to do anyways,'I thought.
"Ya,we even have front row seat passes!"Smokescreen said cheerily.
"Including the express lane,"Bluestreak added.
"Why are you guys letting me go with you?You barely know me,"I asked.
"Don't ask questions,just go with it,"Smokescreen said.
Smokescreen pulled me along,Bluestreak and Prowl following behind.
When we made it to the seats,you could barely hear anything but the screaming cheers in the audience.
"Isn't this awesome!"Smokescreen cheered happily."Whatever you say,"Prowl said blandly.
I laughed at Prowl's comment,my visor brightening.
"Hey,you have a great laugh,"Bluestreak said with a smile.
"Ya?"I said back with a weird look.
"Yeah,let's make her laugh!"Smokescreen cheered on."Hah,try me,"I mocked.
Smokescreen got closer to me,putting his for helm on mine,staring me down.
"It's on,"He stared with narrowed eyes.
Smokescreen went back to normal,smiling.
"Ok,what did the bot say to the other bot?"He asked
"I don't know,"I said with my arms crossed.
"That Smokescreen is terrible at jokes,"Prowl deadpanned.
"I chuckled at Prowls remark,until I realized I laughed,and my optics widened.
"Hah!Knew it,I'm the best!"He mocked.
"Technically I only laughed at what Prowl said,"I raised an optic at Smokescreen.
"Oh come on..."Bluestreak said,his door wings drooping down in defeat.
I smiled at that,rolling my optics at him.
"HELLO femme's and gentle bots!!AND welcome to ANOTHER battle!!!"The announcer spoke.
"ON ONE SIDE-The Terror Twins!AND on the other,Unknown!,"
He said as the competitors entered the arena.
I gaped as I saw before my optics...Sideswipe...and Sunstreaker in the arena.
Yet they were different colors,just like me.
Sides was a cherry red,while Sunny was a bright yellow.
I rubbed my optics again,but they were still there.
"Hey Silverspeed,you ok?"Bluestreak asked with a concerned look on his face.
"No,I am definitely not okay..."I said,still staring intently at the twins.
'Ive never talked to them before,but I have...or was that a dream?'I thought as the other competitor entered.
"LET THE BATTLE...BEGIN!!!"The announcer proclaimed.
Sides and Sunny immediately began advancing to the other side of the arena,while 'Unknown' stayed frozen in place.
They separated into opposite sides,splitting up to corner the competitor.
Sides slowly made his way over to where I and Bluestreak's bots were in the stand.
I saw him glance at the stand,and locked optics with me.
He stopped for a moment,a shocked look on his faceplates.
S-Silverspeed?"He whispered to himself.
'What?How does he know me too?!'I thought with my jaw wide open.
"Sideswipe?"I asked."How do you know me?"I asked."How do you know me?"Sideswipe asked back.
"I'm not sure...I feel like this isn't a dream,"I mumbled out.
I saw Sunstreaker stop,and his optics widened as well as he saw me talking to Sideswipe.
"So,you remember everything about the war?"He questioned."Wait,you do to?"I said shocked.
He nodded in reply."So,where are we?"I asked."Not sure,"He said.
"But wow,can't believe seeing you in red,"I mocked.
"Red is a very fashionable color,"He said,crossing his arms with a glare.
"But I'm still glad to see you-both of you,"I smiled.
"Ya,you too,"He said awkwardly.All of a sudden,I realized we weren't in the arena anymore,
we were in some kind of pitch black space,Sunny now right next to me and Sides.
"Wait,are we dead!"I gasped.
"I thought death would be much more...not this,"Sunstreaker said blandly.
"What were you doing when 'this' happened?"Sideswipe asked me,looking for answers.
"Uh,long story short,I'm a Decepticon,"I shrugged.
"What!"They both gaped at me."Well obviously it wasn't my choice,"I deadpanned.
"But--"Sides started."So if you're coming for me,don't waste your time,"I looked away.
"No!We're coming after you,"Sunstreaker protested.
"Look,I'll come back eventually,"I said calmly.
"But we need you now,"Sides said,taking my servo into his,staring at me intently.
"Just do--"
Before I could finish,a ray of light filled the darkened--whatever it was,and it flashed a blinding light.
I covered my face with a servo,my visor shading it out as best as possible.

Silverspeed's POV
I sat up yet again,to see Blackout smiling triumphantly at his work on the insignias.
I shook my head,and saw everything back to normal..or I hoped...
"Best work yet I believe,but I don't think I'll put you unconscious anymore,you were really weird..."He trailed.
"I bet,"I mumbled...

Oh well,decided to add a little dream-something in XD
